Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 254

A moment later, Stefan said, "Honey, when you chat with your mom, see if you can gauge her attitude towards your dad."

"Okay."

Lucinda also hoped that her father wasn't a bad man and that it was all just a misunderstanding.

Lucinda was troubled, and Janice quickly noticed.

She asked with concern, "Lucy, is something bothering you? Can you share it with me?"

"Nothing."

Lucinda smiled, turning her head to look at her mother, who was gently caressing her face.

Since Janice had regained consciousness, she had always always loved to touch Lucinda's face, her gaze full of tenderness.

"I can see it, I can feel it, Lucy. It's just us two now. If something's bothering you, tell me. Even if I can't help you solve it, it's better to let it out than to keep it bottled up."

Lucinda held her mother's hand, pressing it against her face, and looked straight at her mother.

After Janice regained consciousness, the first thing she did was cut her long hair a bit shorter, but it still reached her waist, and she could tie it up.

She had an elegant and gentle temperament, and although she was nearly fifty, her charm still lingered.

"Mom, you're so beautiful."

Janice laughed, saying, "I'm old now. You're the truly beautiful one. I'm glad that I can see you by my side in my lifetime."

"Mom, what kind of person is my dad?"

Lucinda showed curiosity.

Janice didn't know that the father and daughter had already met. When she heard this question, she didn't find it strange.

She reminisced about the past; her expression was complex, but she didn't speak.

Lucinda didn't press her when she saw her not speaking; she just quietly waited.

After a while, she actually fell asleep.

"Your dad, he's a very outstanding man, but also very cold and merciless."

Janice came back to her senses, intending to describe her husband's character to her daughter, only to find that her daughter had fallen asleep.

She first laughed, then watched her daughter quietly.

After a while, she said in a low voice, "Lucy, I may never forgive your dad in my life. Don't blame me."

She closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

The next day, Lucinda was awakened by a phone call from Cecilia.

She opened her eyes to find that her mother had already gotten up.

"Cecilia, good morning."

Lucinda was still somewhat groggy.

"Lucy, someone sneakily filmed you and your brother together and uploaded it online. They're saying you're seeing another man behind Mr. Coleman's back. It's all over the place now; even my mom asked me if it was true."

Cecilia had just discovered this as well.

While eating breakfast, she liked to check the news and gossip on her phone.

While browsing the news, she saw the video of Lucinda and Ethan.

The video was short, but it clearly showed the faces of the two siblings and their interaction. Anyone who didn't know the situation could easily misunderstand.

"Really?"

Lucinda sat up straight.

Ruby had finally made her move.

She had thought she'd have to wait a bit longer.

She didn't expect results so soon.

Cecilia on the other end of the phone sensed her friend's excitement and asked in confusion, "Lucy, it seems like you're not angry but happy."
